Convert CSV to XML

CSV to XML Converter — frequently asked questions

How do I convert CSV to XML?

Paste your CSV, or open or drop a file, and the XML appears instantly. Copy it, download it (named after your file), or open it in another tool. Errors point to the line and column. Everything happens in your browser.

Does it use the first row as headers, and keep my zip codes?

Yes. The first row is the column names. Each column gets one type: numbers only when every value is a plain number, so zip codes and ids like 01234 stay text with their leading zeros. Tick "Keep values as text" to read everything as text. A file with one column works, and short rows are padded and listed by line number.

Why does the XML have a <root> element?

XML needs exactly one root element. When your data has several top-level keys or is a list, it's wrapped in a root element (you can name it, and the list items) so the output is always valid XML. Keys that aren't valid XML names are renamed, and the result is checked before you get it.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device, so it's safe to convert configuration, API payloads, and other sensitive files. You can even go offline once the page has loaded.

Is this converter really free?

Yes. No sign-up, no payment details, no file-size paywall, and no watermark on the output.
